Is Non Stop back less reliable than the standard TI images?

I had to recover from a bad windows incident last night - I had already tested my CD boot media and knew it would work.
But, to my surprise my Non Stop recovery 'image' failed to recover.... Acronis TI 2010 would see the drive and file, it did start but failed after 1-2 minutes into the process. I ended up having to recover from a cloned disk for last month (not stoked)

Three questions:
Can I validate Non Stop back ups?

Is there an issue backing up to a 500Gb drive and restoring to a 1Tb?

Is Non stop backup more or less reliable then 'stand TI image back ups.

Are you using the standard version of TI or the Plus Pack version? I ran into a problem before where the Plus Pack version wouldn't restore the Nonstop Backup successfully and the standard version would.

In my tests, restoring from a Nonstop Backup is more likely to have issues. I don't think they can be validated. In other words, I wouldn't rely on just Nonstop Backup for a backup -- create periodic images too.

I am using standard TI 10, no - addons or packs. I agree you can't validate the non stop and it's not ultra reliable. Equals not a good backup solution on it's own. I'll continue to do standard B-ups often (plus validate them) and clone my drive every few months

Please note that TI 10 and TI 2010 are completely different versions (TI 9, TI 10, TI 11, TI 2009, TI 2010). It's best to use "TI 2010" when you post to avoid confusion.
